Chicago, ILLocal News

Feed, a cherished country diner in Humboldt Park, is now for sale, marking the end of an era after 20 years of service. Current owner Nelson Sumba is asking for $50,000, citing his back injury and family responsibilities as reasons for the decision. The diner has maintained its original character and a loyal customer base, offering classic dishes like barbecued chicken and creamy banana pudding. The rotisserie WondeRoast chicken, a highlight of the menu, is prepared with a secret seasoning and served with sides like warm tortillas and rice. Feed has undergone three ownership changes since its opening in 2005, with the original owners fostering deep community connections.

Knezek noted the serendipitous journey of establishing the diner, including the discovery of its iconic sign. The restaurant's enduring appeal and nostalgic atmosphere reflect the heart of Humboldt Park's culinary landscape. As the community prepares for the potential sale, local patrons express concern over the future of this beloved dining spot.
